Guess where? Unironically r/Save3rdPartyApps

The Reddit search for Lemmy also gives these privacy copy-pasta as top results when searching for Lemmy. I'm still betting that Reddit employees are involved in boosting these posts.

I suspect they do, in fact, understand the difference. And are intentionally conflating lemmy the platform with lemmy.ml the instance in order to dissuade people from using the platform, since they know that most people new to the platform wouldn't understand the distinction.

Yup - and there's always the issue with third parties storing this info. Reddit has been archived, for example; so no matter what Reddit Inc. does with your data, it's still "on the internet".
